How do Freeway mile markers work ? Mile markers count from west to east for highways going in those directions, and they start from the south and count north, for highways going in those directions. There may be different systems designated for state highways. Not all state highway systems have mile markers, but federal interstate highways do have them.

Chapter 4 Florida Drivers Handbook - Pavement Markings. Ch. 4 Pavement Markings. Lines, symbols and words are often painted on a roadway to help direct drivers and control traffic flow. You must know what the different lines and colors mean and obey them as you would traffic signs or signals. White and yellow lines are used along pavement edges and between lanes to keep vehicles in line. These lines may be solid or broken (long dashes), single or double. Unless you are turning, exiting a highway, or changing lanes, always stay between the lines marking your lane.

- AMVETS Memorial Highway. New York portion is 386 miles in length. First 348 miles and last 18 miles are part of the New York State Thruway. Exits 61-24 numbering order violates MUTCD standards, as roads start at the western or southern terminus or state border. The Thruway starts in at the City of New York-Westchester County line and continues onto I-90, therefore exit numbers and mileposts are listed in reverse. Exits 1-12 in the Albany area (sometimes referred to as Free 90) are maintained by NYSDOT.

Highway Map of USA All highways are maintained by state governments, although they receive federal aid to build and maintain freeways signed as part of the 46,000 mile (75,000 km) nationwide Interstate highway network. A large number of expressways are actually government or privately operated toll roads in many East Coast and Midwestern states.

- Markers identify the pipeline operator and show a 24-hour emergency telephone number where the operator can be reached. The marker will state the material that is being transported within the pipeline. Markers indicate the general, not exact, location of a pipeline. Markers do not indicate how deep the pipeline is buried. Nor do they necessarily indicate how many lines are in the area. And, pipelines do not necessarily follow a straight course between two markers. Never rely solely on the presence or absence of pipeline markers.

- Interstate Exits. Mileposts on the Interstate system indicate the distance from a state's western or southern border. This information on West Virginia interchanges allows travelers to track their progress and provide their location in the event of emergency by noting the nearest milepost. Please note that some interchanges are one-way exits or entrances and are marked with direction (e.g. EB for eastbound, NB for northbound, etc.)

- Alignment station unit modifier. I'm currently trying to layout a rail alignment. Despite being in Canada, this particular alignment needs to be labeled in miles with station markers at every one hundredth of a mile (0.01 miles). The station makers need to be labeled so that the lead number represents the mile, and the two trailing numbers represent the hundredth mile.

Mississippi Mile Markers and Speed Area: The GENERAL area of where I camped that evening. River Mile: The river is broken into two sections and each have their own mile marker designations; from Lake Itasca to Cairo, and from Cairo to the Gulf. River miles are usually well marked below Minneapolis St. Paul. River miles are shown on the Minnesota DNR river maps and the Corp of Engineer maps which cover the river from Minneapolis St. Paul on down. Mile “0” is at Head of Passes near the river mouth. That’s why I’ve labeled the miles below that point with – (minus.) To Go: A running tally of the remaining miles.

How Pavement Markings are Measured How Pavement Markings are Measured. Coefficient of Retroreflected Luminance (RL ) is the most commonly used measurement of retroreflectance in highway marking. RL is the ratio of the luminance (L) of a surface to the normal illuminance (E) on the surface. In the laboratory this definition works well with testing procedures.

Milepost equation Milepost equation. A milepost equation, milepoint equation, or postmile equation is a place where mileposts on a linear feature, such as a highway or rail line, fail to increase normally, usually due to realignment or changes in planned alignment. In order to make mileposts consistent with the real mileage, every milepost beyond the equation would need to be moved.
